Permits for Voluntary Wetland Restoration: A Handbook (11/2013)This handbook has been prepared by ASWM with significant input from both wetland regulators and wetland restoration practitioners. Our goal is to assist those seeking regulatory approval in understanding the dredge and fill permit process, and to share the experience of regulatory agencies that have developed measures to streamline the process in an effective and positive way. We also seek to encourage understanding among regulatory agencies of the manner in which restoration practitioners undertake wetland restoration – based on the best available science, and tied to international, national, state, and regional wetland plans assembled by diverse partners. Of course, our ultimate goal is to encourage and support the voluntary restoration of wetland resources.
